Parisienne V8-307 5.0L (1986)
General Motors has determined that 1986 Pontiac Parisienne Station Wagons with Powermaster Brake Systems were built with combination valves and
pressure switches which may become faulty. If left uncorrected these vehicles may experience a "hard brake pedal" or "increased brake pedal travel."
These conditions may be caused by a Cast Iron combination valve allowing air to enter the brake system or by a pressure switch on the Powemaster
Brake Assembly leaking brake fluid.
WHAT WE WILL Do
To prevent either of the above conditions from occurring, vehicles will be inspected and those equipped with the Cast Iron combination valve will
receive a new brass combination valve. Also, the pressure switch will be inspected and replaced, if necessary.
This service will be performed for you at no charge.
WHAT YOU SHOULD DO
Please contact your Pontiac dealer as soon as possible to arrange a service date. Instructions for making this inspection/correction have been sent to your
dealer. Please ask your dealer if you wish to know how much time will be needed to schedule, process and return your vehicle.
If your Parisienne Station Wagon has previously had the Powermaster Brake. Assembly, combination valve and/or pressure switch replaced and you paid
for all or part of the repair, you may request reimbursement through your Pontiac dealer. When doing so, you should present the dealer with
documentation which reasonably confirms the amount of unreimbursed repair expense due to the replacement of the parts listed above, the date of the
repair, and the person or entity performing the repair.
The enclosed Owner Identification Reply Card identifies your vehicle. Presentation of this card to your dealer will assist in making the necessary
inspection/correction in the shortest possible time. If you have sold or traded your vehicle, please let us know by completing the postage paid reply card
and returning it to us.
We are sorry to cause you this inconvenience; however, we have taken this action in the interest of your continued satisfaction with our products.
